Operation Get Healthy

So, in honor of the new year, it would not be complete without thinking about getting healthy. It is my plan every year and usually I do it for a little big, usually even a few days, then get back into my old routines. But this year, I am feeling it being different. First of all, my mom and I set out a calendar and divided up days as to who would cook at home because we realized that one of the main things that gets us out of shape is going out to eat. We designated Soup Wednesday because we go to yoga every Wednesday night and it is an easy enough dinner for us to eat after and the boys to eat at any time. Next, I have been making Erik and my lunches every night before I go to bed so they are there to pick right out of the fridge on the way out the door. And lastly, I am trying to be active everyday. I used to think it meant going to the gym to sweat it out for an hour, but I gave up on that much too quickly every year. So this year, I am just telling myself that I need to do something active everyday. For example, yesterday I lifted weights and jumped rope while today I spent a half hour power dancing with my kids at work. So! Lets see how this new improved more relaxed guide to getting healthy goes!
